"26 Underrated Amusement Parks in the World"

Carowinds is #19. For the best laugh, look at #3 and #15 :lol: Yes, I understand not everyone is a coaster enthusiast and have heard of all of these, but they should have just made the list "26 best amusement parks" or something, because it's kind of ridiculous to describe some of the parks on their list as "obscure" :roll:

I have a question about the Great Wolf Lodge in Concord. Is the arcade available to anyone who walks in or only to hotel guests? Also does anyone happen to know what the arcade hours are? I tried to Google this but found no answer. Seeing as I live 5 minutes away, I'm not planning on staying at GWL ever, but I'm looking for things I haven't done in Concord and an arcade sounds fun.

^ You must be a hotel guest. It's their way of making sure the water park isn't overcrowded. Personally, I love GWL, 100x better than Boomerang Bay, but I didn't pay to stay there, so I can't speak on if it's worth the $200+.

I've definitely heard good things about the water park, but not enough for me to want to stay there. However I thought (?) they offered admission to just the water park even if you're not a hotel guest. Hmm that may only be for Concord residents though.. Idk, but I'm pretty sure I've had friends go only to the water park. That's why I was wondering about the arcade too.

Actually, I know loads of people who worked there, and they all hated it. :lol: I think most of them were lifeguards, but I think a lot of people worked in retail there too, at restaurants or gift shops or something. It was probably the most common place for people at my high school to work honestly.

I am very much a meat eater, but many of my friends are vegetarians or vegans. I definitely have a lot of respect for it and think it's an important thing for both our health and the environment. Hard to see myself ever doing it but you never know. I've been to some vegan restaurants up here that blew my mind with how incredible the fake meat dishes were.

I never understand the concept of not wanting to eat meat...but want meat tasting dishes. That's like a lesbian using a dildo...

What's not to understand? I don't think many people are vegetarian or vegan because they don't like the taste of meat. It's mainly for health, ethical, or environmental reasons.

And you don't seem to understand lesbians either...

Can't compare the ideas, especially since you can choose your diet, but you can't choose your sexuality. I doubt someone would become vegan because they don't like the taste of meat. Becoming a vegan/vegetarian is a choice you make later on in life. Tofu is a way of transitioning into your new lifestyle.
